I have been
writing similar stuff for the past almost two decades.
But then social mores
and traditions hardly change that easily, especially when it comes to matters
concerning women and it is a global syndrome. It took a Nargis for the first
time to ensure that even a woman’s name can be printed as heroine starring in
movie posters. It has taken so many centuries for women in Ireland to get the
right to abort just last year. I can go on quoting many more instances across the
globe which will only increase the debates and dish out lot of verbal theories.
What we need is initiatives first from women themselves to object to and avoid
sponsoring such biased evaluations of women. Why should men first of all sit on
judgment on women and pass dictates? Why have women never bothered to question
this? Is there any species special status for males? And most importantly why should
women bother about or seek certificates /permissions/licenses either from the
society or males?
In all
species, if we observe as a matter of evolutionary biology. Both the sexes not
only copulate but also cooperate and do not think themselves as competitors.
Each have certain roles, they may different but in no way superior or inferior
or less important.
In a way if
whole of humanity honestly evaluates, all human beings of both sexes had their
initial boarding and lodging in a women’s womb before emerging as living
creatures into the world.
This unique
vital role of creation cannot be carried on by any male. So like this there are
many vital roles every woman plays in her life.
All stupid
Tamil serials and movies are obsessed with and portray certain predetermined,
traditional roles for women but jump to justify modified continuation of such
roles when it is beneficial to the male species. I do not want to get into the
specifics of any of these.
Having said
all these, unfortunately, in many cases, it is the women themselves who play the
spoil sport to other women; probably it is because it is difficult to unwind several
centuries of prescribed and piously followed behavioral patterns.
Here are
some of my write ups
4] MORALITY
We must all remember
that life has no permanent taboos or trends.
